Frequently Asked Questions and Technical Support
*HOSTPRIVIP=[IP address] - IP address assigned to computer or other end device con-
nected directly to the modem (example, 192.168.1.8).
*HOSTPEERIP=[IP address] - IP address assigned to modem for local, not cellular, com-
munication (example, 192.168.1.9).
*HOSTNETMASK=[subnet mask] - Subnet Mask setting (example, 255.255.255.0).
The IP addresses configured need to be appropriate for your network. For most internal networks,
using the IP range of 192.168.x.x is generally preferred. The first three parts (called octets) need
to be the same for all devices on the network (such as 192.168.1.x), but you can use any number
from 0 to 254 for the last part if you use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (fewer numbers are
usable with different subnets). The last part for each IP address on the network needs to be differ
-
ent.
The *HOSTPRIVIP and the *HOSTPEERIP need to exist on same subnet, the easiest subnet to
configure is 255.255.255.0 which allows for 255 IP addresses on the same subnet. Unless you
understand the complexities of subnetting or you are instructed to use a different subnet by your
Network Administrator, it is safe to use 255.255.255.0 with an internal 192.168.x.x network.
Unless you are instructed to use a different IP range and subnet by your Network Administrator,
using the 192.168.1.x or 192.168.0.x range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is recommended.
Caution: If the IP address of the device or computer connected to the modem is dif-
ferent from the one configured in the modem as the *HOSTPEERIP, communica-
tions will fail. If the Subnet Mask is configured differently in the modem than on
the computer or device to which it is connected, you may not be able to communi
-
cate between them.
I disabled the DHCP server in my Raven X and now I cannot connect to it,
how can I change it back?
Since the Raven X has a serial port, you can connect to the modem using Wireless Ace using PPP
or use a terminal emulator to connect directly to the serial port. In Wireless Ace (or using termi
-
nal emulation), you can change the *DHCPSERVER command to either 1 or 2.
If you cannot use serial to connect to the modem, to reset the DHCP server without being able to
connect to the modem using Ethernet requires resetting the NVRAM, the internal memory, to the
original factory defaults.
Caution: When the internal memory is erased and the Raven X is returned to fac-
tory defaults, it may not be able to connect to Verizon. After you have erased the
memory, you may need to go through activation process again.
